Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for docking, that is to say for the exact positioning of a support element or the like, which can be lifted on a trolley or similar transport means and forms a support plane relative to a fixed support plane, e.g. in the frame of a processing or assembly station or a storage location for the purpose of handing over objects.
- the positioning of a carrier element designed as a plate on a trolley is already described in the older DE-OS 33 45 877.
- the carrier plate shown there has the task of forming a support surface on the trolley for an object to be transported, for example a workpiece or a pallet, on which the workpiece is already positioned in a certain way.
- the carrier element does not necessarily have to be designed as a plate. It can generally be formed by any suitable frame or the like having at least three support points through which a plane is defined.
- a possible embodiment can be, for example, a frame which is formed by two bars or rails connected to one another by means of cross struts, the surface of which lies in a common plane and serves as a support for pallets or the like.
- the need for such precise positioning of the carrier element and thus its support level on the trolley arises particularly in Pa lettenf örder- and transfer devices in automatic manufacturing systems, as known for example from DE-PS 31 01 661 or DE-GM 78 35 449 are.
- the pallets with workpieces are transported between different stations by means of the trolley, e.g. an assembly and a processing station, and / or a storage station to and from and transferred.
- the transfer can be carried out using the drive or conveyor and guide means described there.
- the level of support of the carrier element on the lifting device of the trolley can only with a limited accuracy of about plus / minus 25 mm in the for the transfer of the objects, e.g. Workpieces or pallets can be moved to the required position. In many cases this is not sufficient to achieve the desired processing accuracy of the objects or workpieces on the pallets.
- Devices that have already been developed for adjusting the support element forming the support surface on the lifting device (DE-OS 33 45 877) require an additional frame in front of the processing station, are complex and require additional space for the trolley to approach the station.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a simpler, less complex arrangement for adjusting by docking, ie for the precise, automatic, spatial positioning of the carrier element on the lifting device of the trolley with the smallest possible space requirement.
- the possibility which is so advantageous in such trolleys with a lifting device is intended to drive under and lift the pallet resting on a frame (and vice versa also on a frame) Lowering).
- the solution to this problem according to the invention is that after starting in front of the fixed support level, the carrier element is lowered from a raised position and is positively supported on its side facing the fixed support level on two fixed support points, which, of course, are parallel to the fixed support level in a distance, taking into account the shape, thickness and extent of the supporting parts of the support element, that the support element is raised at its opposite edge, preferably at a point of its opposite edge area, to such an extent that its support plane with the stationary support plane in the same common level.
- this method according to the invention can also be used to achieve a position in mutually parallel planes. This measure fixes the carrier element and thus its support plane in the desired position within the common transfer plane.
- the plate is, as it were, primary adjusted in both horizontal directions at the desired location in space defined by the two support points.
- the form-fitting support which can be pivoted about an axis parallel to the fixed support plane, for example by means of centering balls or the like, plays an important role.
- the second step which can be described as secondary adjustment, the support element is aligned in the vertical.
- the support plane of the support element is pivoted about the straight line parallel to the fixed support plane (which in extreme cases can of course also be in the plane).
- both support planes, the fixed and the movable one of the support element then lie in the same plane or in mutually parallel planes, so that a cut made jointly by both planes results in a straight line.
- a device for carrying out the method according to the invention comprises a means of transport in the form of a rail-bound or inductively movable carriage or the like for conveying and transferring objects, in particular pallets, to a support level located in a stationary frame, the carriage having a lifting device on which one its upper side forming a support plane, for example a plate or a frame, is detachably mounted on opposite edges by means of bearing projections or the like.
- this device is characterized in that the carrier element is releasably fixed in position on the lifting device by lifting it off, further that two in each case on the frame in the area facing the carriage and on the carrier element on the side facing the frame the same distance from each other centering approaches are provided which when lowering the Interactively engage the support element and have centering elements on which the support element is pivotally supported about an axis running parallel to the support plane of the frame, and that finally in the area of the edge of the support element opposite the centering lugs, a lifting element is provided that raises this edge, which is controlled by a control device when Lowering the support element onto the stationary centering lugs by means of the lifting device and, after raising the support plane of the support element, can be switched off into a desired position.
- the carrier plate By switching on the lifting element, the carrier plate is pivoted about the above-mentioned straight line of the fixed centering lugs as an axis until its support plane corresponds exactly to the plane of the fixed support plane in the frame.
- the special feature compared to previously known devices is that the support element is supported on one side only when it is lowered onto a stationary support, namely the aforementioned stationary centering lugs of the frame, the recesses of which form-fit the surfaces of the other centering elements of the centering lugs. On the other hand, however, it is supported on a support connected to the carriage, namely on the lifting element.
- one of the pair of centering lugs assigned to a support plane preferably has spherical surfaces as centering elements, the center of which spheres lie on an axis running parallel to this support plane, while the other pair of lugs corresponds to the shape and position of the balls in a conical shape. or has dome-shaped recesses, the corresponding points of which, for example the tips of the respective cones, also lie on a straight line or axis parallel to the other support plane.
- the support element can be supported at its edges not facing the frame via a respective bearing attachment on a bearing attachment provided on the lifting device, one bearing attachment preferably having the shape of a spherical surface and the other a circular cone or dome-shaped recess , which grips the spherical surface in a form-fitting manner when it is supported, and therefore easily detaches from it when it is lifted.
- the method according to the invention can be carried out by lowering the carrier element so that the spherical or circular keg-shaped recesses of the centering projections hit the centering balls and can be easily carried out by switching on the lifting element until the same level is achieved.
- the lifting element on the opposite side of the carrier element can also be dispensed with in a worse embodiment, and this edge can also be raised by lifting the aforementioned lifting device.
- less accuracy is to be expected here than with the smaller, more precisely controllable lifting element, with which a punctiform support of the carrier element or its support plane can also be achieved in this edge region. Inaccuracies due to wheel wear on the car or due to
- the spherical shape on one side and the spherical cap or the circular cone on the other side of the corresponding centering or bearing approach have proven to be the most advantageous. It is also favorable that the respective lower bearing or centering lugs have the spherical surface, since, in the opposite case, dirt and / or moisture can accumulate in the recess.
- the respective lower bearing or centering shoulders can be designed as vertical bolts having a spherical surface, on which the carrier element with the corresponding recesses then rests on its corresponding shoulders.
- the opening angle of the circular cone or dome-shaped recess can vary within wide limits. An angle of 45 ° has proven to be advantageous.
- the invention also enables simpler configurations of the centering elements on the centering lugs, with which the pivotable mounting of the carrier element according to the invention can also be achieved.
- a prism with a V-shaped cut edge and, on the other hand, a double tapered roller, the axis of which extends transversely to the plane of the V-shaped cutout are provided as centering elements.
- prisms with a V-shaped cut edge are provided as centering elements on both sides, the plane of the V-shaped cutout on one side being oriented perpendicularly to that on the other side.

- the aforementioned, different forms of centering elements can be provided both on the carrier element and in the region of the frame, and are therefore interchangeable.
- the arrangement of the lifting element between the carrier element and the lifting device can be different.
- the lifting element which is designed as a pneumatic or hydraulic lifting motor, can be fastened with its cylinder to the carrier element and can be supported with its piston on the lifting device.
- the cylinder can also be connected to the lifting device while the piston of the lifting element is supported on the carrier element or engages there with its piston rod.
- centering lugs and one lifting element each are on both sides of the carrier element.
- a spindle drive can also serve as the lifting element.
- the control device has at least one switch for switching off the lifting element, which can be actuated by the interaction of a fixed contact element and a contact element connected to the carrier element when the carrier element has reached its desired position.
- the one contact element is directly part of the switch itself.
- the switch is provided together with the one contact element on a centering projection of the carrier element and can be actuated by a contact pin arranged in the region of the centering projection on the frame.
- the switch can be switched over in the area above a centering shoulder of the carrier element an axis pivotally mounted switching lever can be actuated, which is movable against the force of a spring against the switch by the fixed contact pin.
- the switch it is also possible for the switch to be arranged in a stationary manner on the side of the carrier element to be lifted by the lifting element and to be actuated by a contact element designed as a laterally projecting projection on the carrier element.
- a liquid switch which works according to the known principle of a spirit level. With such a switch, for example a mercury switch, it is known that a criterion can be derived if the support plane of the carrier element runs in a horizontal direction.

- the carriage 1 travels with the support element 3 and pallet 4 raised by the lifting device 2 to the frame 8 concerned (FIGS. 4, 8 and 9).
- the centering lugs 11 provided on the edge of the carrier element 3 facing the frame 8 lie here with their spherical, downwardly directed recesses 12 on the frame 8, correspondingly arranged spherical surfaces 13 of the centering lugs 13 (FIG. 4).
- the centers of the spherical surfaces 13 lie on a straight line parallel to the support plane 10.
- the centering lugs 11 engage with their recesses 12 over these spherical surfaces 13 of the centering lugs 13, so that the carrier element 3 aligns with them and assumes an inclined position as a result of the lowering (FIG. 5).
- the spherical surfaces 5 of the bearing lugs 5 on the carrier element 3 are inevitably released from their circular-conical bearing 6 on the centering lug 6, so that a forced centering on the centering lugs 13 caused by the weight of the carrier element takes place in height and in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
- a lifting element 14 on the underside of the carrier element 3 on the edge of the carrier element opposite the frame 8 the latter is raised to such an extent that its support plane 3a is finally in the same plane as the support plane 10 of the stationary frame 8.

- the support element 3 is fixed with its support plane 3a in the plane common to the support surface 10 on the frame 8, supported on three points, the transfer of the pallet 4 can take place.
- the drive or conveying and guiding means required for this for the pallet are known and are therefore not shown in detail here.
- the carrier element 3 is raised again by the lifting device 2 and moved away.
- further lifting elements 14 effective on its underside are provided at its corners.
- the centering lugs 11 are on both opposite sides the support element 3 is provided so that appropriate stations can be approached on both sides of the car.
- the carriage 1 with the support element 3 designed according to the invention can also be used for driving under and lifting a pallet 4 or the like stored in a further frame 8.
- FIGS. 13 to 15 is somewhat different from the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 to 6. To make it easier to recognize this commonality, the corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numbers.
- the spherical surface 5 is provided on the bearing projection 6 designed as a bolt on the lifting device, while the conical recess 6 is located on the bearing projection 5 of the carrier element 3.
- a provided on the lifting device 2 bracket 7 prevents interaction with a locking pin 7 on the support member 3, its removal from the lifting device, while this is already achieved by the bearing projection 5 in the previous embodiment.
- the centering projections 13 as vertical bolts are formed, which have the spherical surface 13 at their upper end.
- the carrier element 3 has centering lugs 11 on both sides.
- lifting elements 14 are also shown here on both sides.
- a shift lever 15 is pivotally mounted about an axis 18 above the centering projection 11. It is pressed against a stop 20 by a spring 19 if no further force acts on it. It has a contact spring 21 which can be set in a desired position relative to the lever by means of an adjusting screw 22. Switching on the lifting element 14 (FIG. 14) raises the supporting element 3. The end of the switching lever 15 facing away from the contact spring 21 strikes the contact pin 16 on the frame 8. As a result, when the carrier element 3 is raised further by the lifting element 14, the switching lever 15 is pivoted towards the switch 15.
- the contact spring 21 is adjusted by means of the adjusting screw 22 so that the switch 15 is actuated by it at the moment when the support plane 3a of the carrier element 3 has reached its desired position, that is to say exactly congruent with the support plane 10 of the frame 8, which is not shown here is in the common plane (Fig. 15).
- the switch 15 is expediently here as a so-called non-contact switch trained.
- 23 denotes an auxiliary switch which is not absolutely necessary and which here switches on a creep speed of the hydraulic drive of the lifting element 14 in order to avoid overshooting due to insufficient braking of the piston movement.
- an emergency switch 24 is also provided, which switches off the lifting element 14 if the switch 15 fails.
- 16 to 18 are the same positioning operations.
- the control takes place only with a switch 15, which is arranged in a stationary manner on the opposite side of the frame, which is likewise initially inactive when the carrier element is lowered (FIG. 16) and is only activated by actuating the switch 17 when the lifting element 14 is also switched on becomes.
- the switch 17 is attached directly to the carriage 1, it must of course be ensured by means of a corresponding control that the correct lifting element 14 located on the opposite side of the frame 8 is switched on.
- the carrier element 3 here has a laterally projecting projection 16 on the side facing the switch 15.
- this approach is moved towards the contact element of the switch 15.
- this extension 16 actuates the switch 15 as a contact element, which thereby switches off the lifting element 14.
- a liquid switch 15a is connected to the carrier element 3.
- Two switching pins 26, 27 are wetted by the liquid in different ways when the carrier element is lowered and thereby switch the lifting element 14 a (Fig. 20) until again the carrier element . 3 has reached its target position (Fig. 21).
- brackets 28 are arranged on the two sides of the carrier element.
- wooden pallets 25 known per se can be driven underneath on a storage rack 8 with the carriage 1 according to the invention and raised or lowered thereon (FIG. 24).
- the lugs or brackets 28 can be equipped with centering means. They protrude above the support level 3a of the carrier element 3 and thus form an elevated support level. This makes it easier to drive under the storage tray 8.
- the carrier element 3 lies on the two lifting elements 14, as well as on the support elements 14 a provided on the sides in FIG. 23.
- These support elements 14a are not shown in the other figures. They serve as a support for the pallet during transport.
- the following figures show an embodiment of the centering lugs 11 and 13 with much simpler centering elements.
- the individual centering projection 11 is provided with a double tapered roller 30, while on the corresponding centering projection 13 of the frame a prism 29 with an approximately V-shaped cutout 31 for receiving a double tapered roller 19 is provided as the centering element.
- these centering means enable the carrier element 3 to be pivoted about a common axis 34 which runs through both centering elements of the centering lugs 11 and 13 in engagement.
- centering projection 11 also has a prism 32 with a V-shaped cutout 33 instead of the double tapered roller, which, however, with the plane defined by its V-shaped cutout 33 perpendicular to the corresponding plane of the prism 29 on the centering projection 13 is oriented (Fig. 27 and 28).
